Dotterel, Dale airfield

 

One of the Juvenile Dotterel, still on the airfield early evening. Had about 30 minutes watching it chasing crane fly and rooting out worms before the mist rolled in. 7 Chough (5,2). 3 Wheatear. 200+ Linnet and c50 Meadow pipits. A Willow warbler and a Chiffchaff on the track up. A good look around a very misty Martin's Haven and the Deer Park, single Chiffchaff in the valley, a Whinchat on the Deer Park (been a good autumn for these) and a couple of flocks of juvenile Goldfinch on the ragwort heads added a little bit of colour to the greyness.
